First Time's the Charm

Late Screening: Close Encounters of the Turd Kind

I wanted to believe.

Combining my fascination with aliens and my newfound desire to see movies I missed for one reason or another seemed like a fantastic idea. Kicking the Seat founder Ian Simmons and I chose Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind for the latest outing in our freshly dubbed “Late Screening” series.

For a number of reasons, the lauded film fell far short of our expectations, marking the first film in our project that neither of us enjoyed.
